Preparation Steps
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the skillet and sear until golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

- Uncover and stir in butter until melted and sauce is well blended and glossy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
